I'm reminded of Michael Caine in "The Man Who Would be King" in pith hat and Sam Browne, drilling his "Kafiristani" recruits in the fundamental incompatibility of an enquiring mind with the type of soldiering he requires of them.

"Do you think that if he thought about it for two seconds, a man would risk his life for Queen and Country? Not bloody likely! That man there with the No.5 hat size has the makings of a bloody hero!"

Ubi Petrus, ibi ecclesia, et ubi ecclesia vita eterna
